Read my first status report for a more general introduction on what is happening. In the last two weeks, I have implemented many shiny new things in kte-collaborative! Here’s a short summary of the most prominent ones. Sharing documents using kde-telepathy There’s a prototype for sharing documents using kde-telepathy now! It will take care of all the connection details automatically and should “just work”. Sharing a document using kde-telepathy To […]

First of all, I’ve been accepted for GSoC this year! I’ll be working on creating a collaborative text editor based on the KTextEditor interface and libinfinity library, and on integrating that editor into kde-telepathy. The point of integration with kde-telepathy is that it will allow for a nice user experience in setting up connections: instead of typing IP addresses, they can just select a person from their contact list. “Integration” […]

Hi! I’m happy to announce the the availability of version 1.5 of kdev-python, the Python language support plugin for the KDevelop development environment. For the official (short) announcement containing links to the tarballs, see the announcement on the KDevelop website. Here’s a short video which demonstrates some of kdev-python’s (and KDevelop’s) nice features: (if your network connection allows it, you can also watch the full-resolution version — or here’s a […]

Hi! Five months have passed since the release of kdev-python 1.4.1, and it’s about time for the next release! The 1.5 release will contain various new features and bug fixes, and also will work with KDevelop 4.5, which is to be released soon. One of the new features in kdev-python 1.5: initializing properties in class constructors via code completion Notable Bugs fixed The following issues were fixed, among others: 312275 […]

I had a bit of spare time, so I decided I’d try to implement collaborative editing in KTextEditor, and see how far I can get in a week. That week is over now — and this is how far I got: Your browser does not support the video tag. (If your browser doesn’t support HTML5 video, here’s a direct link) Technical implementation In the background, all this is based on […]

Before everything else, I want to send a big “thank you” to our hard-working sysadmins who spent so much time and effort recently on fixing the git servers! It’s working nicely again. Other than that, there’s various news in kdevelop-land: kdev-python now has a branch which builds against upstream python 3.4 (which is not released yet), there’s a few fancy new features in kdev-qmljs (QML / javascript language support for […]

Finally, after a few days of difficult work, it’s here: the prototype for kdev-python’s new GHNS support for documentation data! kdev-python now has its own settings module providing GHNS support Technology I don’t want to go into detail here (I’m a bit sick of this stuff currently *grin*), but the OCS backend is written by me and running on my own server currently, for testing purposes. It’s python2 / django […]

For up- and downloading documentation files in kdev-python, I wanted to implement support for the KDE GHNS dialog (you know, this thing). In addition to a good GUI dialog which makes it easy for people to generate raw versions of docfiles and edit them a bit, this could be quite effective in supporting binary python modules correctly in the IDE. Sounds easy enough to do, right? The widgets are there… […]

Important: The location of the release pary in Karlsruhe I announced has changed! I’m really sorry, I hope this message reaches everybody in time! This is the first time I’m trying to organize a release party — and of course everything went wrong 😉 I wanted to wait a while before reserving a table at the restaurant to have somewhat accurate information about how many people are coming. That was […]

Important: The location of the event has changed! See below for details. I’m really sorry, I hope this change reaches everybody in time! The KDE 4.10 release is near, and since Lydia Pintscher moved to Berlin 🙁 there have not been any more release parties! This state is unacceptable and needs to be changed. Thus: There will be a KDE 4.10 release party in Karlsruhe, Germany, on Friday, the 8th […]
